Shut Down Machine

[Michael Persaud]

.... Can you say shut down a machine with code by clicking on a button in a
web page.

This would also have to have some user privelage authentication through AD
and probally even to a SQl database.

Any ideas appreciated

there are utilities (shutdown.exe) that MS has in the res kits that allow
this, but they would execute on the SERVER and yes, the user that calls the
exe would need admin rights to the destination pc/machine

What machine do you want to Shutdown?
Client or server?

You can shutdown a server. Just use an API ExitWindows but do not forget to
give special permissions to ASP.NET account.

If you want to shutdown a server then you need to install ActiveX client on
clients machine and then do what you want with it.
